Abstract
This article examines persistent deathly and suicidal thought images across Karl Marx’s oeuvre and argues that capitalism has transformed our preoccupations about subjection into anxieties about our being itself. One form such anxieties take has been suicidality, and I argue that our modern tendency toward suicidality has come
to name both a way of avowing the violent conditions of our estranged life under capitalism and a way of affirming the possibility of imagining new forms of social reproduction.
